SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept 20.—
Fifteen suits for payment of street

Antonio in behalf of various paving
concerns against property owners, in

The amounts, which range from va-
rious sums up to 1250. are alleged to
be due for r-ving of street which i
was done under the bond issue, la
which the abutting property owners
were to pay two-thirds and the city I
one-third of the cost.

Bread was given a boost in price here
Tuesday as a result of the increased
price in milk, which has gone up to
six cents a pint. The bakers claim!
that the raise in the price of milk has
caused a shrinkage in their profits,
since they use a great deal of milk
in the making of bread. Under the
Increase in price bread will sell for
five rents a loaf straight instead of
twenty-four loaves for >1, as former-
ly. The bakers say they may later
raise the price to ten cents a loaf.

RAN ANTONIO, Texas, Hept. 20.—
What is believed to be tha first sago
palm in the United States to mature
seed was dicovered in this city by
Harvey C. Stiles, former state horti-
culturist. who has obtained 1000 beans
•f a cherry red color from two trees,
which are about twenty-five years old.
Mr. Ri i Ice placed the seeds or beans
on exhibition in a downtown show win-
dow. and they attracted a great deal
of attention.
There were numerous offers for the
purchase nt the seds because of their
beautiful color, some of the offers be-
ing as high as 25 cents a seeu. The
entire lot made a lull bushehand
prices ranging froin $100 to $150 were
offered for the lot. Mr. Stiles took
them to hie home at Han Marcos,
where he planted them it will take
about two years for them to grow.
This $56,000,000 "run" on the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers has not stam-
peded the Chalmers factory.
Quite the contrary. The cars are coming out of there so fine, so exact,
so thoroughly tested, that all we have to do now when we take them off the
freight cars is to pour in oil, gas and water, run them a few miles, and
deliver.
There's an excellent reason for this condition. The Chalmers Company
has a young army of eagle-eyed inspectors who take great pride in finding
a fault in a car when it comes out of the plant.
This costs just 8250,000 a year in cold cash —just one quarter of a mil-
lion dollars a year to 5catch the little things.”
I firmly believe that most factories would let "go by” nine cars out of
ten that the Chalmers inspectors waylay.
It sounds like a lot of money, but when a company maintains the slogan
of "Quality First” and bases a $56,000,000 business on the quality idea,
then it becomes quite clear.
I firmly believe that three times $250,000 is returned to the cash drawer
of I he Chalmers Company every year through such a policy.
It certainly makes selling a Chalmers car anything but a difficult matter.
And that accounts for the "run" on the car. For "run” it surely is.
I am handling from three to five times as many Chalmers cars as this
territory ever absorbed before.
Last November th'- Chalmers Dealers bought $22,000,000 worth of'3400
r. p. m. Chalmers in forty minutes.
These Cars were all made anil delivered before summer rolled around.
Then 10,000 more were added. These were taken up during the
summer months.
